As expected, coach Tuchel's team had no difficulty in winning the final score of 4-0 with goals from Leroy Sane (4', 90'+1), Harry Kane (74'), and Mathys Tel (90'+5).

Two consecutive defeats have temporarily dropped Al Nassr to 15th place in the rankings with 0 points, out of 18 Saudi Pro League teams, after the first two matches of the new season. For their part, Al Taawon rose to 4th place.
